1974 Westing house washer

[volsboy1]

I found a place down the road that has a ton of old washers and he told me he would trade me my 3 year old G.E. for any machine he has plus he told me if it dies in a year to bring it back and pick out a another. He told me most his people want new machines, I don't know why new machines suck.

I have never had a Westinghouse washer , I am driving up there this morning.

He said he has tons of old Washers and if he has a old Frigidaire Jet cone I will grab it above all others.

I hate this G.E. I can't control the water it has a mind of its own.

I was wondering is the 1974 model a Wci or a real Westinghouse,he did mention Speedqueen 1980 but he was cut short on time. He also said he has a Old Front load washer that works great .

'74 westinghouse...

...should be branded Westinghouse,but I think WCI was involved by then.I have a '75 westy-blue agitator That 1980 SQ might be one of the last solid tub fluid drive machines.

If it was manufactured in 1974 it is probably a product of Westinghouse Electric Corp., as I'm nearly certain WCI purchased the appliance division in 1975. I know it wasn't long after I graduated high school, which was in 1974. I took an appliance repair class at a vocational school in the Fall of 1975, and remember something about Westinghouse parts coming from WCI by that time.
